Sustainable Finance powering Sustainable Development | Herry Cho | TEDxPickeringStreet
Sustainable Development is coming, whether you are ready for it or not. How is the finance community supporting this, and what more can be done? My vision is for financiers to empower industries and the economy towards sustainable development. I am the Head of Sustainable Finance in the Asia Pacific for an international financial institution operating in over 40 countries. My main responsibilities are: 1) the origination and structuring of 'green', 'social' and 'sustainability' bonds, loans and other financial instruments, 2) advisory on sustainability ratings, and 3) supporting the integration of sustainability internally into product, sector and country teams' activities.
I contribute on a number of expert sustainability and finance committees in the region, and reside in Singapore. Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry (MBioch) was my degree at University of Oxford, and I’ve lived, worked and traveled in over 60 countries . In my spare time I play piano and ukulele for relaxation, act like kids with my fiancé, sing with my Amazon parrot Morrocho, meditate on water, and delve into nature. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Same to me. From her mouth I have an helicopter view to filled up my project about sustainablity finance for my current scientific article
Very good, a long time ago I met you on the airplane to Manila, and always felt you were special. I hope your message get's through, a good platform. I have worked on these concepts with Leather and Cleaner Vehicles and people want it, but there is a lot of inertia. Keep strong and carry the message
On a more macroeconomic perspective, sustainable finance brings a major leverage to financial stability (cf. Financial Stability Board and Task Force on Climate-Related Non-Financial Disclosures). Cheers from Paris!
Your story is my story, perhaps we should start a group of green former mainstream financiers!
Clear, informative and an absolutely inspiring speech
Beautiful thoughts from a beautiful human!
inspiring speech, thank you.
Thank you Keep doing this great work
i spent the whole first two minutes of the video wondering what's wrong with my speakers.
Great Talk. You inspired me to find, no demand for a sustainable bank for my finances. Thanks for helping out in my MM paper too on sustainable banking...
Inspiring
I laughed when she said that she went back to the real world. Not because she is right or wrong but because I feel the opposite when I go to less-developed places.

Wow! The bias of this speech is unmatched. 1st. I travelled around the globe (by plane) and that changed my mind. 2nd. Quoting Blackrock as if they are sustainable or something. 3rd. That finale encouraging on invest on quantum computing, when they need to operate on temperatures near absolute zero. That's a lot of energy for cooling. I didn't know this speaker before watching this video, but I don't trust her after watching this nonsense.

All those global climate change are BS. I am not sure if those in charge really believe the nonsense while I know the NPCs do.

Not for Starbucks. They are actually trying to make a difference.
